FY 1987 tax collections for the Pontotoc County School District exceeded the statutory limit; however, the school district properly requested the county to lower its FY 1988 tax levy to offset the excess. The tax levy and collections for the school district were within statutory limits for FY 1989. However, for FY 1987 and FY 1988 the county’s individual levies for the Minimum Education Program misrepresented the Pontotoc County School District’s local contribution required by state law to support the program.
